Today in tech tinkering:

My big markdown document that tracks all of the things I have done on my FreeBSD server is becoming unwieldy.
Expected.

So I am now splitting it up per-jail and per-VM. Also adding some yaml frontmatter and adding an Obsidian Base that will be able to give me an overview of some high level stats like IP addresses of the jails.

In the process also fixed my DMA config, so I should hopefully be getting important system info forwarded to my Mailcow from now on.

Sometimes it feels good to just do the small cleanup tasks :3

I also installed Node Exporter on both machines and am scraping that. I still have a name collision to fix there, as they are currently not discernible.

And I added Ntfy as a Contact Point and was about to embark on a journey to figure out how to make the output not be a big json, when I found out that Ntfy has an integrated parser template to handle Grafana webhooks, neat!

Just hit escape …

A funny flowchart for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. The "NO" path shows an incorrect posture with slouched shoulders and bent wrists at a computer leading to more pain. The "YES" path humorously suggests "Running into woods. Never to be seen again" as a solution.

jaxxed , (edited ) to Linux in Fuzzel, app launcher and fuzzy finder has feature-packed 1.11 release

Hey, sorry for taking a long time, but I am farting around with the pinentry option now.

I don't have screens, but I wanted to point out a few scenarios that are challenging with fuzzel:

  1. as I was trying to describe before, the ability to write accompanying text is pretty important, as you need to be able to describe what gpg key is to be unlocked, and typically a string like "Enter PIN for Richard Nixon [email protected]" is used - which is too long for fuzzel (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-descriptive-text-to-display) Also keep in mind the error scenario, which adds even more copy (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-error-text). Lastly there is a "set window title" feature, which is perhaps not important for us (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-button-texts)
  2. There are message scenarios which are difficult to place with fuzzel. Even if I wanted to just fail out some scenarios like reties, I would want some "notification", and would probably like to have fuzzel also used for that in order to keep the UI consistend across use cases. (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#message-box)
  3. There are cases where pinentry is expected to set copy for buttons for OK and Cancel and "Do not do this", IIRC to get internationalization. I think that these are less important. (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-button-texts)
